Folitician (Remix) Lyrics

Hey Folitician, me seh hey folitician
Me seh hey folitician
Mek you go long so.
Hey folitician, me seh hey folitician
Me seh hey folitician
Mek you go long so.You come chatty chatty chatty run up you' mouth,
You come chatty chatty chatty run up you' mouth,
One man, one vote you hear from the shout.
One man, one vote you hear from the shout.You full of pure promise but you tell damn' lies;
You full of pure promise but you tell damn' lies;
You make a mistake And then somebody dies.
You make a mistake And then somebody dies.Hey folitician, me seh hey folitician
Me seh hey folitician
What you doin 'bout the slums?
You sit around all day, jus' a twiddle your thumbs;
You have a strange expression
Mek you look like you' dumb.
Mek you look like you' dumb.You worry everybody 'til you put them in a box.

You worry everybody 'til you put them in a box.Dub freak gone
Gone go check him record shop,
Gone go check him record stock.Him climb upon the box
Him said him got to reach the top;
Him climb upon the shelf
Him seh you take care yourself.
Him dance upon the floor
Him said a music galore
Him said a music galore.Dub freak, dub freak
Deh 'pon the go;
Say you never know
Because I told you so.Sippa, sippa, sippa, sippa, lightning crash;
Sippa, sippa, sippa, sippa, lightning crash;
Drummer 'pon him drum, him jus' a play mish-mash.
Drummer 'pon him drum, him jus' a play mish-mash.
Keyboards in the middle jus'a jump and twiddle.
Keyboards in the middle jus'a jump and twiddle.
Rhythm over here an' me seh rhythm over there,
Don't stop and stare because the rhythm gone clear.Dub freak, dub freak, in a dub freak style
Dub freak, dub freak, still a running wild.
Him start from the bottom 'til him reach up the top
Him keep on rocking and him never stop.
Wow and flutter, music jus'
a run like butter.
a run like butter.Dub a slip an' slide
Dub a slip an' slide
Dub a slip an' slide,
He can't find nowhere to hide.

Ub40

UB40 are a British dub / reggae pop music band formed in 1978 in Birmingham, England.

The band is one of the most culturally diverse dub reggae bands with musicians of English, Scottish, Irish, Yemeni and Jamaican parentage. The band is named from the paper form issued by the UK government's Department of Health and Social Security at the time of the band's formation for claiming unemployment benefit (UB40 = Unemployment Benefit, Form 40).

UB40 were influenced by the many Blues Parties they attended as teenagers in the multiracial Balsall Heath area of Birmingham, their love of ska and reggae inspired such original tracks as King, Madam Medusa, Food for Thought, Signing Off and One in Ten.

Their early music style was unique, with a heavy influence of analogue synthesizers, psychedelic rock guitar, saxophone and dub producer techniques which were later perfected by the late Pablo Falconer.

Ali and Robin Campbell have a musical heritage, being sons of Ian Campbell, a folk musician.

The band purchased its first instruments with compensation money Ali Campbell received after a bar fight. They have had a number of hits, most commercially and to amusement of the band, "Red Red Wine", a cover version of a Neil Diamond song (in an arrangement similar to that of Tony Tribe's version). Their most successful single release is the cover of the Elvis Presley ballad Can't Help Falling in Love which was intended to be the main title to the 1992 Sharon Stone movie Sliver and was a Number One hit across Europe and in the U.S.

Many of UB40's recordings were inspired by 1960s ska and early lovers rock songs that would have otherwise been forgotten in the public eye. Their new injection of life into so many old Jamaican hits has resulted in many musicians' and producers' renewed popularity and income.

UB40's early music often tackled social issues such as racism and unemployment.

Other artists that UB40 have collaborated with include: Pato Banton, Madness, Bitty McLean, Chrissie Hynde, Robert Palmer, Hunterz, Japanese artist Mikidozan, French artist Nuttea, Lady Saw and Afrika Bambaataa.
